Are we to blame for beached whales and dolphins?
by Robert Lamb | December 22, 2009
In my last post, I talked about the two varieties of whale stranding and Dr. Gregory D. Bossart ‘s Science on Tap lecture on the topic at the Georgia Aquarium. This time around, I’m going to run through some of what Bossart had to say about the possible causes behind mass strandings. Sadly, a number of the cases point back to human alteration of the environment.
Last night I had the privilege to attend another Science on Tap lecture at the Georgia Aquarium, this time featuring Dr. Gregory D. Bossart, the aquarium’s chief veterinary officer. Bossart discussed a subject that he’s devoted much of his career to: the mysteries surrounding stranded marine life.

Want to help save the Atlantic Ocean from this deadly and destructive invader? Well grab some tartar sauce and a lemon wedge because the only way to turn back the tide is to start throwing them on the grill.
Last night I had the opportunity to attend Science on Tap, the first in a new series of lectures at the Georgia Aquarium here in Atlanta. This particular presentation was led by head divers Jeff Reid and Mauritius Bell, who provided a fascinating insight into their professional lives.
